INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Stair Rail Clamping System

IMPORTANT: Remember to always wear the proper personal fall arrest equipment when

installing this product! Until the top rail and mid rail are in place, this system is not in OSHA

compliance. The StringerShield

is much easier to install using two workers.

Remove red support bar and upper (or top) clip

completely from stanchion (FIGURE 1).

Loosen the lower (or bottom) clip to allow ample

room for the lower clip to slip over the bottom side

of the stringer or pan stairway to be protected.

Loosen the two adjustment screws found on the

lower clip so the adjustment screws do not interfere

with the bottom of the unprotected stringer.

Swing and lift the StringerShield into positon so the

bottom clip is snug against the bottom of the

unprotected stairway (FIGURE 3).

Hand tighten the nut on the bottom clip of the

StringerShield unit until snug. This nut will be fully

secured and tightened in step 6.
